Australia reached the 100-run mark in 38.4 overs. Khawaja looked all set to complete his half-century but his 143-ball 47-run knock came to an end as he was caught behind by Mohammed Rizwan, with Aamer Jaamal taking the wicket. Australia was 108/2.

Smith and Labuschagne continued to bat and guided Australia through the remainder of the session, which ended prematurely due to bad light.  

David Warner who is playing the last test match of his career made an opening partnership of 78 runs with Usman Khawaja. He was later dismissed for 34 runs.

Brief Scores: Australia: 116/2 (Usman Khawaja 47, David Warner 34, Agha Salman 1/18) trail Pakistan: 313 (Mohammed Rizwan 88, Aamer Jamal 82, Pat Cummins 5/61) by 197 runs.
